Hair starts to regrow about two months after laser treatments, usually coming back thinner and less curly, Barlow continued. That treatment option previously existed only at base clinics, but tweaks to Tricare now make it available by network referral when a military dermatologist isn’t available, Barlow said. The most difficult cases might require laser hair reduction, a treatment that officials say is the most effective remedy for razor bumps, but Jablon insisted lasers would be “the last resort.” “We also continue to seek additional therapies that allow (sailors) to comply with this policy.”
“Many sailors find good relief with these products,” Barlow said in a follow-up email. It also lets sailors try over-the-counter products like hair removal creams. The new directive offers three, and each costs about $30 per month and might last longer, Barlow said.
The guidance issued 15 years ago relied on one prescribed cream to cure razor bumps. (Army)īarlow doesn’t expect sailors will need more than three temporary chits before settling on a cure, partly because the new instruction offers expanded treatment options. African-American sailors will make up the bulk of those affected by the new Navy policy. The hot towels help stimulate the skin to bring out any oils and sweat that can be used for a lubrication layer between the skin and the razor. Soldiers assigned to the 3rd Infantry Division Sustainment Brigade use hot towels to warm their faces during a shaving clinic in 2017 at the brigade's organizational classroom.
